WORKCAMP SEASON SERIES


Aneta and Justyna's journey

France


This time, Aneta and Justyna, local volunteers from Pułtusk are writing about their experiences. 

They went to France and participated in a workcamp together with the organization Solidarités Jeunesses.
SJ International workcamps develop useful project for the local community. They were working in the community located in the Hautes-Alpes in the long-scale project that connects the water to the cottages with pipes.⛰🏞

Aneta Kuczyńska:
“My trip to France was full of new experiences. For me, it was my first time traveling by plane and first time abroad so, this trip was accompanied by large amounts of stress! The worst part was when we missed the train but as we sat down the stress disappeared.
That night we stayed in a hotel near the train station. After putting together the luggage in the hotel, we went out and explore the city of Grenoble.

The next day we arrived at the workcamp and of course, there was stress, we didn't know anyone, we were afraid we wouldn't get along with the group.
Several days passed as we started talking to the group. Sometimes the work was hard, because most of the days were really hot. A really hot summer in France! Many of the volunteers were tired but no one gave up.💪


In our free time we talked about trips and our countries.🌍

When it was time to return, there were tears but also smiles😁. After the work was finished, everybody was happy to back to their loved ones and their home countries.

As our plane landed, we felt a great relief that the journey was behind us. When I got home I just wanted to sleep after a day trip. Memories will always be remembered.”


Justyna Ciszkowska:

“It was such a long stay away from home for me and the first time for me. I learned independence. I learn new cultures and wonderful people and visited a lot of places. The landscape was beautiful. I quickly became attached to places and people.

I think that in the future I would like to go to a similar workcamp, because it was great. The atmosphere there was indescribable, so amazing.


Thanks!
